If you look on my site under "windows and etchings", I explain how I wanted to add a window to the top of my Lian Li. I had to drill out the rivets and I got a new rivet gun from Home Depot and put it back together. Or you could always use nuts and bolts to put it back together.

Drill the rivets out with a #30 drill bit. That is the standard for a 1/8" rivet. Get yourself a pop-rivet gun and some new rivets. I'm not partial to aluminum rivets using a pop rivet gun. THey never seem to get tight enough. I use steel rivets.
